if you are adding them to your 120 litter i wouldent recommend it because your clown loach really nedds a 55 gal or larger and they like to be in schools.also your albino shark im guessing is a rainbow shark also needs a 55 gal or larger.

are you re homing your loach? and did you ever figure out the fish you wernt sure of? if not, I wouldnt add anymore fish if you rehomed your loach, and your angel, you could go with a nice school of neons and a few more barbs...of course this depends on what that unkown fish is first...your shark and bn are going to have territorial issues the bigger they get

Ive realised thanks, my other fish is a molly i did have 2 but one was bullied and killed by a parrot fish i had at 1st which has been taken back to the shop I am going to rehome the shark and angelfish but with the clown loach having white spot there is nothing i can do with that one at the moment, i only want to have lots of small fish in my tank no big ones so in future when i go to the fish shop i will make sure they will not grow large, they just sell them and say in acouple of years when they get big take them back x

I know its frustrating when you trust your fish store to give you good advice MOST of us have been there and its not a good feeling..but you can make it better and more enjoyable as a hobby and it sounds like you are on the way to do that!!..once the loach, angel and shark are rehomed, I would get a nice school of cardinals or neons (6-8) and mayeb 4 more barbs...then have your bn for the bottom..with some tall plants I think that would be an amazing tank
.again tho do you know the unnamed fish yet?
